Dee Delgado

for both my welcome dinner and wedding day, did touch-ups all the way up until the ceremony, and put together an amazing team of hair and makeup artists for my bridal party and moms (nine women!). She.Is.Flawless! Dee did two trials with me when I couldn’t decide on the look I wanted, and was so kind about it, never making me feel rushed or pressured—she genuinely cared that I felt confident and happy with how I looked on my wedding day. Her artistry?....the absolute best. My makeup was flawless - she nailed exactly what I wanted: a slightly elevated version of myself. She's got a keen eye and mixes colors like a painter...I would buy every lip and eye color she created ten time overs. I also got a front row seat to the breadth of her skills across the bridal crew and all our moms (different skin types, ages, preferences, etc, etc.) —every woman had makeup perfectly suited to her. From natural to glam, Dee does it ALL. Even more impressive is how she handled several 'challenges' on wedding day - I'd changed my hair color a couple of weeks prior, and as soon as I sat down for my makeup, she immediately called an audible, asked if I was OK with something a bit different, and created a new look that was a way better fit. The trust we'd built during the trials and welcome party meant that I didn't even question her instincts, and of course, she was 1000% right! Throughout the entire process, she was warm, fun, and professional—like having your highly skilled, knowledgeable, and artistic friend doing your makeup. Her approach was calm but organized - she kept us on schedule, and everything about getting ready was genuinely enjoyable! Dee cares about her brides in a big way - on the wedding day, when I realized my tropical beach wedding was going to be rained out, she spent her very valuable time cheering me up (she certainly didn't have to, but I am so glad she did! ). During the intense hour right before the ceremony, she wasn’t just touching up my makeup; she was graciously asking how I was doing, offering water, and doing anything she could to make the moment easier. I was so grateful for her calming presence and will never forget how she helped me through those moments! Dee, thank you for everything —you brought calm, care, and perfection to my wedding weekend. Thank you for dealing with Melvin as many times as you did. You are a GEM of a person, and I am so proud to have worn your artistry on our big day! (The Knot won't let me upload my photos!)
